Update your NPI information
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services encourages physicians to keep their National Provider Identification (NPI) record up to date. To do this, physicians should know and maintain their password which is used to change information in the NPI system, reset their password once a year and review their NPI record to make sure the information is accurate.
Visit the Web site (https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/Welcome.do) to correct, add or delete information in your NPI record. User ID and password is required to log on to the site.
If you have forgotten your password, enter your user ID and click "reset password." Call (800) 465-3203 if you have questions or problems accessing the system.
